Im Indoors goes to hospital.....

[dizzyblonde]

.....on Tuesday, for his hip replaced8-[. Hes certainly got the mileage in before he goes, Somerset, Lincolnshire and Wales in this month, and a whole barrel of Tramadol...the Raptor secretly told him not to go to Wales this weekend...the shock wee'd oil over my garden!

So here hopefully end ten years of agony and a wonky swagger. Hes very anxious right now, grumpy too. I try to ignore this, but I'm just as anxious8-[.
I've a whole weekend on nights, and, off we go to hospital at 7.30 Tuesday.
Fingers crossed all goes well8-[

+1 Or does dizzy like her sugar daddys?!!? :D

[dizzyblonde]

Hes 29, you wouldn't think there were owt wrong...you did meet him this week.

Yes it is bike related, a woman in a vauxhall Omega ploughed into him on a crossroads at 40mph, 19 year old, put a 60degree bend in the frame of his bike...... Hes had the scaffold holding him up so far( it still is) but the cartlilage is fooked so hes having a new hip put in.

Steve

[dizzyblonde]

[Devil Biccy]

Wishing 'im Indoors the quickest of recoveries and you plenty of sympathy for all the tea/coffee/sandwich making your gonna have to do because he needs to rest for atleast 12 weeks!

[G]

Its so routine now it amazes me, my gran and grampa have both had replacement hips at 70+ and they are completely fine, amazing really, infact my other grampa is due one soon aswell.

Good luck with its, theres nothing to worry about at all.

[Lissa]

Wished him good luck last weekend, but repeat it again here.

All the best, Matt...........there's a ride on the Duc waiting for you:D

he went to occupational health/physio session this week, and it were full of olds;)
Its very routine, just not on someone so young. TBH, once its done, he'll be like the 29 yr old that he should be:cool:

Whats that? out with his mates every night, getting drunk & picking up teenagers? 8-)

Steve

[dizzyblonde]

well no, on the teenager part, but as for getting drunk with his mates....no change there!

[stewie]

All the best for the op matey, you,ll be back on your feet and on a bike again in no time Im sure. :D

[rictus01]

You know my thoughts on it all Lou, I’m sure you’re all set for this, patience, tolerance, understanding……. And a big stick :smt075


Best of luck both of you, shout if you need to ;)

Cheers Mark.

[timwilky]

Tell him to stop malingering and lead with his good one up the stairs and dodgy ones down.

<smut>
So, I guess it is you doing the work until he gets his hips working properly.
</smut>

Step mum had her first one at age 40, sods did it wonky and she now needs built up boots. When she had the other one done, she had hoped they would do a match. Different hospital/surgeon and the original is still an inch shorter than second.

[pmapp]

Good luck to he n thee

:-thumleft:

[ooger]

Don't you think its just a bit weird when you step back and think:


Broken bike, take out broken bits, replace with new non-broken bits. Sorted
tools: Screwdriver, spanners, wrenches, screws and bolts

Broken people, take out broken bits, replace with new non-broken bits. Sorted
tools: Screwdriver, spanners, wrenches, screws and bolts



Hope he mends well. Remember to keep lubricating the moving parts.


(that's really borderline, but it wasn't even intended to be funny, sorry!)

[tanis34]

hope all goes well and he has a speedy recovery
all the best

funny you should say that, his original op was pretty much a mess, it was more like....hmmmm which bit goes where, sorta thing. Unfortunatly hes been walking around for ten years with one leg an inch shorter than the other, they hope to remedy that when they give him the new hip. All ceramic ball, so maybe I'll be able to play snooker with him:joker:

Hope it all goes well for "im indoors"


Now's your chance to claim the Raptor Dizzy

Hes bloody hidden it, its shock peed oil yesterday, and it was up at his mates house, in a secret location that I can never remember how to get to:smt011. I swear hes going to hide it under a mountain of SRX parts if it does go back to his house....grrrrrr



Thanks for all the well wishes guys:smt050

[ThEGr33k]

Hope all is well! :D

[northwind]

Sure it'll go fine, they're so routine now that the biggest danger is the surgeon gets bored and nods off :D Good luck both of you!

[dizzyblonde]

Oh that's not very fair is it

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, he'll be up and about in no time :cool:

Bad news about the Raptor Lou, and you were so looking forward to it :-P

[dizzyblonde]

Try and get some photos for the Org!

well that would be an advert for 'always wear your leathers';).

AND....21Quest, thankyou:smt055

HAHAHAHAHAHHA :smt026 I have it in my shed with my bikes.....its sooooo much temptation to get her out....just need to find where hes put the keys:smt047...and maybe get YC to oik her over a bit to get it out of the door, and run away with her quick.....cause after tomorrow Matt won't be able to catch me;)

[dizzyblonde]

I feel really useless this morning. I wasn't allowed to stay at the hospital:(, hes first in at 9. Perhaps if I was his wife instead of the ever suffering girlfriend, perhaps it would be different. I was told it was visiting hours only!
My dad was in hospital a few years back, and as the wife my mum could come and go as she pleased.

So all I get to do is pace up and down here, until 'I'm allowed' to show my face:(

[Ed]

Aw that's tough, and not very fair:(

Best wishes:grouphug:

[Luckypants]

Hope everything goes well today.


(BTW wot you doing in Wales and not calling in for a cuppa??)

[dizzyblonde]

(BTW wot you doing in Wales and not calling in for a cuppa??)

I was at work:(!! Matt went to Wales at the weekend, Oswestry. If I was there we would have called in:cool:

[Speedy Claire]

Sorry but only just seen this thread. Hope all goes well hun, best wishes for a speedy recovery. Some wards do maintain a strict visiting times only policy and that includes wives and husbands as well and orthopaedics tend to be a bit strict cos of the infection risk. Best wishes

[dizzyblonde]

As far as I know the op went well. Matt asleep as always!! Asked him if he was ok, the reply was..''I am now'' and he promptly pressed the morphine button!:smt030. Hes been in and out of sleep(no surprise) and I will be off there again later. Have had some marvellous well wishes by phone from certain members of the org...you know who you are..we're both really grateful for it, also from all of you on this thread.

Hes got a nice marker pen arrow on his leg( just so the surgeon didn't forget Northy):rolleyes:and apparently he will be up out of bed in the morning:smt083


Thanks again guys:cool:

[Luckypants]

Glad it went well hun, say hi from me when you see him.

... and a hug for you for the worry :smt056

[Devil Biccy]

Pleased to hear that all is well heres wishing Matt a speedy recovery

Thats good news Dizzy.... did you get the old hip for a souvineer?

Steve

[dizzyblonde]

Thats good news Dizzy.... did you get the old hip for a souvineer?

Steve

LOL...actually in his initial consultation, he actually said ''can I have my ball back'':rolleyes:''well it is mine!!''

Hes got a sinister sense of humour;)

[yorkie_chris]

Going to pop in and see him tomorrow.

[dizzyblonde]

:cool: mate. He be glad of the company. He was a lot more alive this evening when i went. But, his wound was weeping:confused: apparently normal, he wasn't too happy being moved but hey after 5 mins on the pump action morphine he was just:smt030. They're getting him out of bed in the morning and standing. He was saying his hip had worn a funny shape over the years, it was so odd the surgeon said it was peculiar....still didn't give him back his ball though...lol

[northwind]

Ah, I miss my morphine pump :( "Ah, someone boring's come to visit me. I'll go for a fly instead"

[dizzyblonde]

well true to Matts stubborn form, he got out of bed this morning on his own free will, before the physio turned up, hobbled to the nursing station and told them he really needed to pee....lol
He wasn't supposed to do that:smt018
His stance is so much straighter, as he's been wonky on one leg shorter than the other for ten years. Definetly back to his usual sarcy self too:smt101, I took this pic as he was just about to go for an xray

[SoulKiss]

Good to see its looking good :)

[Tara]

glad he's on the mend

[Quedos]

good to see he's on the mend! Here's to a speedy recovery

[yorkie_chris]

Here's to a speedy recovery

Only about a month over 10 years (iirc) after a certain TZR was bent 60 degrees by some dopey slag in an omega...

Speedy now seems a bit of a moot point lol.

[dizzyblonde]

I can't believe how much hes been walking about tonight, could be out in a couple of days.
Shame hes in one of his oh so normal grumpy moods...must be something to do with having his morphine drip removed:-(

[northwind]

Still slower than my grandad. He woke up after his first replacement, pulled out the drip, and wandered off to the shops.

:smt046, lol, thats like my dad, he had 6 hours worth of surgery a few years back, stayed in ICU for a while, after he got bored on the normal ward, he pulled out all the wires and drips, n stuff, and took himself off for a walk.
The nurses came and said '' now then Mr Norris, we need to get you mobile and take you for a few steps''
Don't bother he said, I've already been downstairs and back:smt101, think it must be a man thing

[rictus01]

My own trumpet blowing, 42 hours after having two toes chopped off, saw me at the end of AR05 :-dd

u sure they got the right hip:confused: looks a bit wonky to me:D

glad his on the men

[yorkie_chris]

Took him a chinese in last night lol, he seemed to perk up a bit

[dizzyblonde]

u sure they got the right hip:confused: looks a bit wonky to me:D

glad his on the men

yeah, he had a big black arrow drawn on his thigh, so they got the right leg. And the surgeon etc kept asking him over and over prior to theatre, that it was definetly the left one:smt045

[rictus01]

Glad you're doing so well Matt and sound on top form again, now comes the hard part, restraining yourself for the short term to let everything heal in place, going to be a tough old few weeks or so, hang in there, Oh did you get Lou the nurses outfit then ;).

Cheers Mark.

[carnivore]

Well i'm out thank f**k, hospitals are never the best places to spend any time but i've been released.:cheers::smt041:crutches:
thanks for all your support and would like to make a start with the 'i was wearin' me ferkin' leathers' when the district nurse comes round to remove the stiches.
Apart from feeling a bit wooly in the head i'm ok, no massive amounts of pain or anything. i would like to break some distressing news though, Blueflame i've had to sleep in a room with somebody that snored 3 times louder than you could. how i didn't beat him to death with a bunch of grapes i'll never know. thank god for morphine on demand, wanted one for home but was strangly refused. :scratch:
But thats life, on the mend now and hopefully fixed for good. thanks to you all :D:cool::salut::notworthy:

[Lissa]

Good to hear it's all gone well, Matt.

So when are you taking the Raptor out then?:D:D:D

[carnivore]

Not for at least 2 months. :( That means there is 2 months worth of polishing for dizzy to attend too. :smt043

[joshmac]
